Our Markham second graders did an amazing job at Monday night's school board meeting. They led the Pledge of Allegiance and shared what they are learning about communities. We are so very proud of them! Please click on the title for more pictures.

The Mt. Lebanon School District is in the process of collecting information for our 2018-2019 kindergarten registration.

Students in 4th and 5th grade strings, 5th grade band and 5th grade chorus presented their Winter Concert on Tuesday, December 19, 2017.

There was even a surprise featuring the 5th grade teachers who proudly modeled their "ugly Christmas sweaters" during the chorus song "My Christmas Sweater"! All of us at Markham wish everyone a happy holiday season! Please click on the title for more pictures.

Dr. Freil spent his last day at Markham visiting each grade level. His parting words came through the read aloud, Mr. Tanen's Ties Rule! by Maryann Cocca-Leffler. Interestingly enough, this book was dedicated to honor Mr. Mallery when he retired 7 years ago...and now he is back, temporarily. Dr. Freil's love of ties and passion for making school fun will forever live in our memories. Best wish at South Western School District. We will miss you! Please click on the title for more pictures.
